Ironicus broke his maiden in his second start, and trainer Shug McGaughey kept the colt in allowance company throughout his sophomore year. As a 4-year-old in 2015 Ironicus kicked off the year with an allowance win and runner-up finish before venturing into stakes company, where he captured the Grade 2 Dixie Stakes at Pimlico on Preakness day.

Later that summer he finished second in the Grade 2 Fourstardave Handicap before winning the Bernard Baruch Stakes at Saratoga in impressive come-from-behind fashion.

Ironicus is a son of top sire Distorted Humor, out of the multiple stakes-placed A.P. Indy mare Meghan's Joy, making him a half-brother to graded stakes winners Hunting, Norumbega and Quiet Harbor as well as multiple stakes winner Seal Cove and multiple graded stakes-placed Minister's Joy.
